Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler was hospitalized early Tuesday with a kidney stone problem and offensive coordinator Gary Moeller has taken over the Wolverines` head coaching duties, officials said. Schembechler, 58, was taken to an undisclosed Ann Arbor hospital at about 3:30 a.m., according to Bruce Madej, Michigan`s sports information director. If Schembechler misses Saturday`s home game against Wisconsin, it would be only the second he has missed while coaching the Wolverines. Schembechler suffered a heart attack in his first season at Michigan that forced him to miss the 1970 Rose Bowl against Southern California. He was replaced by Jim Young, the team`s offensive coordinator.
